There are several weird things about this video, and I didn’t even really want to make it, but then I decided that there are maybe a few masochists out there who want to see how Trevor Ariza performed in his first game with his new team, so here we are. Before I start listing the…

Monte Morris 16 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (12/18/2018)
Is there some kind of steroid that you can take that makes you better at basketball? If there is, the NBA should investigate Monte Morris for taking it, because going from a total afterthought in your rookie year to a top-5 backup PG getting 25 MPG in your second year is awfully suspicious. I know…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 22 Points/13 Assists Full Highlights (12/18/2018)
D’Angelo Russell has made a lot of progress. Back in his Lakers days, if he had double-digit assists or close to it, it was a guarantee that a literal majority of them would be because Nick Young shot the ball as soon as he touched it no matter the situation. I was critical of the…
Read MoreLonzo Ball 23 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2018)
There are lots of mean people on the Internet who have mean things to say about Lonzo Ball. That he can’t shoot. That he has a weird-looking jumper. That his dad is stupid. That his brothers are stupid. That his face still looks like a pizza even after he cut his hair. That he’s a…
Read MoreJoe Harris 19 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2018)
If you want, you can skip right to the part of the video that everyone has to see, Joe Harris’ circus shot at 0:59. That’s the shot that would make ESPN’s top 10 plays of the night, if ESPN still showed highlights and didn’t just have talking heads saying stupid stuff at each other back…
Read MoreJamal Murray 22 Points/15 Assists Full Highlights (12/18/2018)
The Nuggets have long held hopes that Jamal Murray could be turned into a point guard. If what they mean by point guard is “a true floor general who brings the ball up the court and sets up the offense every time” or “chucker who sometimes is forced to pass because of the triple team…
Read MoreLuka Doncic 23 Points/12 Assists Full Highlights (12/18/2018)
Attention Luka Doncic: you’re still a totally rad dude, but you’re going too far down the James Harden road by drawing all these fouls. Harden is an elite player who absolutely deserved his MVP and helps his team wins tons of games, but does anyone actually watch his highlights? No, at least compared to other…
Read MoreNikola Jokic 32 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2018)
Nikola Jokic is a great passer, and I’m not implying that he should stop passing, but what we saw here tonight is evidence that his scoring has been being held back by the fact that he needs to get his teammates involved for the team to be successful as a whole. Tonight, someone else stepped…
